Ohio State Lima and Ford announce partnership to establish engineering education and manufacturing center

The Ohio State University at Lima and the Ford Lima Engine Plant announced a partnership to establish the Ohio State Lima Engineering Education and Manufacturing Center (EEMC) at Ford Lima Engine Plant Training Center today. The new center will revitalize the existing training center at Ford to provide learning and laboratory experiences for students in Ohio State’s Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology (BSET) program.

“This partnership will prepare students to immediately contribute to the 21st century manufacturing engineering jobs in our region upon graduation,” said Tim Rehner, dean and director at Ohio State Lima. “The EEMC will integrate academia and industry by bringing both systems together in one space. Students will benefit from having easy access to a resource-rich space that is informed by the best from manufacturing systems and academic discoveries.”

Ford is already an active partner in research with the university.
